There sure is a crowd here! No wonder, though. As I worked my way through the crowd, I found several really good games going...
Wabble - http://wabble.org -- Like Scrabble, this word game is free online, and could be used to reinforce current and recent vocabulary words as students look for opportunities to play those words.
WEBoggle - http://www.wordsplay.net -- Again, this is a general game in which one could search for a given word list - but the options are somewhat limited in any one set of letters. Actually, WEBoggle is no longer used for this game because of legal issues with the makers of the game Boggle.
This Quest requires a write up of two of these games as one Quest for the Quests section of the Adventurer's Log. Be sure to give the name of each game and how it works. Then discuss briefly how you might use these games in an educational setting. As at the Aromatic Stand, the 5XP will come from naming each game (1XP each), describing each game (1XP each) and the discussion of using the games (1XP total). Quest title: "Wabble, WeBoggle, Mindbender and Rice"
